Volume 1 Chapter 237 Gu Tingying's Blind Date

Mother Gu does not feel sorry for spending money on her children, especially since Gu Tingxiao is her first child.

When Mrs. Gu and Wang Chunmei gave birth to their child, Mother Gu contributed both money and effort.

There is no reason to treat Sheng Wanyan differently.

The mother bought a bottle for the baby and, thinking that she would give birth in summer, she bought five sets of clothes for the baby.

I also bought two quilts, and 5 pairs of small socks and shoes each.

At the beginning, Gu's mother bought the same amount for other grandchildren in the family, without favoring one over the other.

The colors chosen are light yellow and white, so that both boys and girls can use them.

Sheng Wanyan gave birth to her child at the end of August, and it was easy for the child to get prickly heat in the hot weather.

Regardless of this, my mother was thinking of buying a few boxes of prickly heat powder and sending them over, and sending some clothes when winter comes.

These were all bought by Gu's mother, while Sheng Wanyan went to look at some small toys for the children.

Gu Tingxiao helped her to the place where the toys were placed, and Sheng Wanyan took out a small bell, a small gong, and a gray little rabbit.

"I want a white one so that both boys and girls can use it."

Sheng Wanyan had many ways to know whether the baby was a boy or a girl, but she didn't do so.

Just let it be and enjoy the surprise when the time comes.

Gu Tingxiao nodded when he heard this. This child’s thing looked particularly small in Gu Tingxiao’s hand.

Gu Tingxiao was wondering if his child would be like the boy in Sheng Wanze's family.

It's small and very fragile.

After buying the things the child needed, Sheng Wanyan started her own shopping spree.

She bought a set of clothes for all the elders in the family, and did not forget to include the Sheng family.

The grandfathers wore Zhongshan suits, the grandmothers and the two mothers wore coats, and the two fathers wore a set of basic clothes.

As for Gu Tingxiao, she bought all the clothes. Since she was pregnant now, none of the clothes were suitable for her, so she bought three sets of base clothes.

"Yan'er, try on the coat."

When Mother Gu saw that she didn't buy anything for herself, she was pleased at her filial piety, but also felt sorry for her for not being able to take care of herself.

"Mom, I won't buy it. I won't be able to wear this dress for long if I buy it while I'm pregnant."

When Mother Gu heard this, she also thought so and put down the brown coat in her hand with regret.

Sheng Wanyan has a good temperament, and this coat would definitely look good on her. What a pity.

When Gu Tingxiao heard Sheng Wanyan's words, he looked over. His wife has always loved beauty, but now that she is pregnant, she doesn't buy new clothes.

Gu Tingxiao looked around and picked up a long-sleeved, loose-fitting red dress.

"Wife, buy this."

Sheng Wanyan looked over and had to admit that she liked the skirt.

Especially the collar, which is a round collar with ruffles decoration on the front, simple yet distinctive.

"Don't buy it. It won't last long."

"Buy it, it looks good on you."

Gu Tingxiao looked at her very seriously. Sheng Wanyan would be lying if she said she wasn't moved, even though there were many beautiful dresses in the space.

But when a woman sees clothes she likes, she doesn’t care how many there are in her closet!

"real?"

"real."

Thanks to Gu Tingxiao's competition, Sheng Wanyan finally got the skirt she liked.

Sheng Wanyan went to buy skin care products. Skin care products have been available in foreign countries for a long time now, and they are very natural.

Arrangements were also made for Gu's mother, Sheng's mother and Gu's eldest sister-in-law, and the old lady bought face cream for them.

During the time that Gu Tingxiao and I lived at home, Brother Gu and Sister-in-law Gu spent a lot of money.

Although they brought back their own food rations, they still had to trouble Mrs. Gu to take care of many things since they were living at home.

So she always remembered the kindness of Mrs. Gu.

Gu's mother and sister-in-law thought that they had bought all the Sheng Wan cigarettes and could go home.

As a result, Sheng Wanyan went to buy watches, one for her and one for Gu Tingxiao. Naturally, she did not forget her elders at home.

She wanted to arrange everything, but it frightened Mother Gu so much that she had a heart attack.

"No, your dad and I have several watches, you and Ting Xiao can buy them."

"Grandpa and grandma also have several pieces."

After hearing that, Sheng Wanyan gave up and bought something for herself and Gu Tingxiao. This time she bought the classic model.

The older the watch is, the more valuable it will be in the future. Antiques with some historical value are different.

Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Tingxiao. She was afraid that Gu Tingxiao would be dissatisfied when he saw his third brother's wife wasting money like this.

As a result, Gu Tingxiao looked at his third brother's wife with a doting expression, and the indulgence in his eyes was almost overflowing.

She was overthinking...

Sheng Wanyan had used up all the overseas Chinese coupons in her hand, so she went back home.

This time, Gu's mother saw how much Sheng Wanyan was squandering. She originally thought she was a good spender.

I didn’t expect that the person in the Gu family who spends the most money is here.

When she calculated, Sheng Wanyan spent almost 1,000 yuan that day, and all she bought were expensive things.

This was already Gu Tingxiao's annual salary, but most of it was bought for family members. Sheng Wanyan only bought herself a skirt, a watch and a few pairs of socks.

His heart is full of family. This child is very filial.

Mother Gu was both relieved and distressed. As a mother-in-law, she was naturally happy to see this, but as an elder who loved her, she felt a little distressed.

It really was...she didn't know what to say.

Sheng Wanyan returned home and gave all the gifts to the elders in the family.

The elders in the family were so happy when they saw this that they couldn’t stop smiling.

"This kid is a waste of money."

Grandma Gu knew at a glance that these things were the most suitable for the family. Sheng Wanyan was a careful person.

Grandma Gu asked Mother Gu to prepare some more things for Gu Tingxiao and Sheng Wanyan when they returned to the army.

When Mother Gu heard this, she nodded. She didn't need Grandma Gu to explain it to her because she thought so too.

She no longer has any hope for the fourth son's wife, but she has to take the eldest and third sons' wives into consideration.

As the saying goes, the first ten years depend on the mother-in-law, and the last ten years depend on the daughter-in-law

When I get old, it would be great if my fourth son’s wife doesn’t unplug her oxygen tank.

Not to mention taking care of herself, I was actually smiling to myself when I didn't hope she would die soon.

So Mother Gu understood clearly that the only ones she could rely on in the future would be the eldest son’s wife and the third son’s wife.

In the future, sisters-in-law can help each other, discuss with each other, and reduce each other's burdens.

———

The day soon came when the family returned to work, and suddenly the only people left at home were Gu Tingxiao and his wife, two elderly people, and little Gu Jingjing.

Little girl Gu Jingjing is obsessed with painting. Uncle Gu and his family have not returned to Hai City yet because today is the day of Gu Tingying's blind date.

It would be a lie for Gu Tingying to say she wasn't nervous, as this was her first blind date.

The blind date was set at Gu's house, and the wife of Political Commissar Zhao, who was very fond of matchmaking in the compound, was invited to act as a matchmaker.

Gu Tingying got up early in the morning and peeked around the room nervously.
